PICTURES IN THE FIRE.


When the winds are grooming OF the tempest
rising near
Shouting down the chimney, that the young and
old may hear;
What Joy to gather while the blaze is leaping
higher,
And watch the pretty pictures that are painted
in the fire.
There ship is tossing that is wrecked upon the
sea;
Here ruined castle crowns green and sunny
lea;
Yonder smiles & garden, and a church with ia
per spire-
Ever coming going, are the pictures in the fire.
Walls of stately mansions never framed a sight
so rare.
All we do is irish them, and behold the pictures
therei
Tender faces greet u.s. Oh, the heart can never
tire,
Watching on a winters night the pictures in the
fret
Yonder loom wild, stormy clouds, and near,
Italian Skies
Life, with all its busy maze, is symboled to our
eyes.
Oh, the tranquil dreams that wake beneath the
tempest's ire,
While looking at the pictures that are painted
in the fire

YOLKs AND WHITES.

A Commission Merchant Chats About two
Peculiar Articles Imported From Eu-
rope.
1.-The business of importing egg yolks
and egg albumen, which only began
about five years ago, is assuming larger
proportions every year, and every Ger
man steamer brings over dozens of
barrels of egg yolks and hundreds of
tin-lined, air-tight cases of albumen, or
the whites of egg. 1t is possible to
call the albumen food, although it is
used in a very unwholesome shape, be-
ing consumed chiefly by candy manu-
facturerS and confectioners. The
former has the quality of making their
candy swell up and appear one-third
larger. For n small outlay for albu-
men they can practically increase their
stock in bulk one-third. They say it
'aerates' the candy. Itcertainly makes
it dry and sponge-like, and candy made
of it tastes as if it was infused with
carbonic acid gas. When | buy my
children candies make point to avoid
all candy made of egg albumen, for it
is sort of fraud on the little ones.
"Where do most of the eggs come
fromP"
Germany sends over more than all
other countries combined, replied the
egg merchant. Switzerland, Austria
and Italy send great deal also. The
egg yolk is sent over in the strong bar
rels which have already done duty in
transporting oil from this country to
Europe. The yolks are in liquid form
mixed with about twelve per cent. of
salt A barrel Of egg yolks will weigh
about five hundred pounds. The whole
sale price of the product is fourteen
cents pound and it takes the yolks Of
about three dozen eggs to make pound.
The albumen is imported in dry state
in cases weighing about three hundred
pounds. 1t is dried in the sun or panes
of glass, The price paid for it there is
fifty cents a pound. The thrifty Ger
mans manage to ship the whole egg
over here, shell and all. The shells
are ground and mixed with pipe clay
and the admixture of shells gives the
clay peculiar gloss and finish. These
pipes are stamped and sent over here
to tempt passers-by in the windows Of
tobacco-shops as genuine Powhatan." "
The extent to which the importation
of eggs in the condition mentioned is
supplanting the importation of the egg
in its complete form can be seen by the
following figures obtained at the Mer-
camille Exchange; The importation Of
whole eggs in 1882 amounted to 1854
: cases (ffty dozen), valued at S6O,OO0
q 1883, 1897 cases, valued at S112,000
1884, 95,449 cases, valued at S418,898
D 1885, 22,790 cases, valued at S236,0
The figures for 1886 will show steady
decline from those of 1885, Here car
be seen the rise, the climax and the de
eline.-M. Y. Tribune.

Washington's Knee Buckle.

A Lewiston lady has one of General
Washington's knee buckles. 1t is a
genuine article whose history can be
traced back authenticity to General
Washington through a revolutionary
patriot grandsire, who one day picked
up the shining buckle left by the Father
of his Country in the camp of Valley
Forge. He knew it was General Wash.
ington's as certainly as he would have
known General Washington's three
cornered hat, Subsequent generations
preserved the buckle and the story, al
lowing neither to lose value by age.
The buckle has been transferred into q
bosom pin. The old-time buckle is an
oval setting of brilliants in old-fashioned
silver with an inner border of pale,
antique-looking gold. 1t is striking
from its oddity. If you look sharp you
may see the Lewiston lady decked in il
some day, and if you see it you will
know it. 1t came to her as Christmas
gift from a grandmother, who has treas,
ured it as the apple of her eye.-LelOis
